13th Irish OpenSolaris User Group Meeting

Tim has been busy organising the next Irish OpenSolaris users group meeting -

To: [ug-ieosug] 13th Irish OpenSolaris User Group Meeting
From: Tim Foster Tim.Foster at Sun.COM
Date: Wed Aug 1 08:42:29 PDT 2007
Hi all,
I'm happy to announce the 13th Irish OpenSolaris User Group meeting:
Topic Discovering Open High Availability Cluster
Date Tuesday August 14th
Time 7:00pm onwards
Location TBD
This month, we're lucky to have Nick Solter, from the Open HA Cluster
community visiting Dublin who will give us a talk about Open HA Cluster,
which forms the basis of one of the newer communities on
opensolaris.org.
Solaris Cluster, Sun's high-availability cluster software, is going
open-source! This presentation will first give an overview of High
Availability software and Solaris Cluster, and demonstrate how Open HA
Cluster can be used with OpenSolaris and the Apache webserver to provide
higher availability for web services.
Nick's talk will next describe the open-source roadmap, give an overview
of the source code, and walk through the steps to download, compile,
install, and play with Open HA Cluster and Cluster Express. The talk
will conclude with a description of the contribution process and some
sample projects for community participation.
As usual we'll also be doing the roundup of news since our last talk,
and will be adding audio from this meeting to our podcast feed.

We \*don't\* yet have a venue for this meeting, so if you'd like to host
it, please drop a mail to this list [ I'm actually out on vacation from
Monday for 2 weeks, but will of course be at the meeting on the 14th and
will try to monitor this list in the meantime: so please could someone
finalise the venue for the group - otherwise, I'll assume we're at
meeting at the Sun offices in East Point as per last month. ]
I'd also like to take this opportunity to poll for talks or speakers for
our September meeting - if you'd like to talk about anything
OpenSolaris-related on Sep 25th, we want to hear from you.
If you're looking for an excuse to visit Ireland, here's your chance -
we'd love to have you present a talk to the user group, and will do our
best to show some Irish hospitality!
See you all then!
